Patent number: 10591064Abstract: Provided is a spiral wound gasket that makes it less likely that gaps that are in communication with each other in a spiral shape will remain between layers of a filler member exposed at a gasket face in a state before the gasket is clamped and that is capable of exhibiting sufficient sealability for flanges provided at pipe joints. The present invention provides a spiral wound gasket in which a laminate of a hoop member made of metal and a filler member is wound around an opening and integrated, and which has gasket faces at respective end portions, wherein, at each of the gasket faces, an end portion of the filler member protrudes past an end portion of the hoop member, and the gasket faces have a surface roughness Rz of 30 ?m to 200 ?m.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: NIPPON PILLAR PACKING CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuji Yanagitake, Naoyuki Sawamoto, Hiroki Tanabe, Yuta Sato, Kiyoshi Toyazaki

Patent number: 9829961Abstract: An electronic device whose power consumption can be reduced appropriately depending on the condition of use by a user is provided. The electronic device having a power saving mode includes a processor and a plurality of memories configured to be able to become a stopped state individually, and available to the processor. The processor causes a predetermined number of memories among the plurality of memories to become the stopped state, based on a processing load of the processor, to thereby make a shift to the power saving mode. In the power saving mode, the processor has a standby state of restricting the operation of a part of the electronic device and an active state of normally controlling the operation of the electronic device, and maintains the stopped state of the predetermined number of memories regardless of whether the processor is in the standby state or the active state.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2014Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hisashi Kuroda, Hiroki Tanabe, Junichi Sasaki
